It’s not going to stop the trajectory for Trump. Trump still takes the big states here Michigan and Mississippi. Nibbling around the edges in small caucus states is not going to do it, and those caucus states are about exhausted.

Cruz, Kasich, and Rubio will over perform and poor old Donald will underperform.

That has been the pattern so far. I looked at all of the primaries and caucuses this year, and particularly in closed primaries and caucuses, Trump underperforms the polls by a significant margin. He does better in open contests where the Dems can play mischief, but even there he just barely exceeds his polling average.

Whether that trend continues is an open question. But to deny the fact that this has been the pattern up until this point is just dishonest, since the facts are there for anyone to find. It is public record.

I would tend to agree. But I think MS will be a lot closer than the polls show, especially with the MS governor and Chris McDaniel being on the Cruz team. And I think Trump will win MI, but the delegates will be split pretty evenly between Trump, Kasich and Cruz - maybe just a few delegates separating them.
